More things that could wind yarn.
So I threw out the question of how to make a ball winder to a group of knitters. So far we have use kids, the little ones in my life won't sit still that long. I think felting in a wading pool is more their speed. Other ideas have included using a treadmill or bike. Which I like, my dad hooked a bike up to a generator once and if we wanted TV that summer we had to ride the bike. So if I want yarn neatly balled then I have to earn it on a bike or treadmill. Doesn't that defeat the laziness of not wanting to roll from a dresser drawer?

I hope you come up with some sort of ball winder! I love home made things. My husband is very handy making things. When we moved into our house, he made our table after I told him I wanted one like a picture in a magazine. I keep thinking about just buying a ball winder.
Just buying a ball winder would be the equivalent of cracking eggs to scramble them instead of using the "egg scrambler". Automating of home devices should be complicted as to prevent the sane person from even trying!
